Step ❸

After successfully adding your image, you’ll have several editing options before you:

  • Bring to Front: Moves the selected image to the top layer, making it appear in front of other overlapping elements in your diagram.
  • Send to Back: Places the selected image behind other elements, which is helpful for creating background images or layering objects.
  • Replace: It allows you to swap the current image with a different one while maintaining its size and position in the diagram.
  • Crop: It enables you to trim unwanted parts of an image, focusing on the most relevant portion of your diagram.
  • Crop to shape: It lets you fit an image into a specific shape, such as a circle or star, for more creative visual effects.
  • Reset: Reverts any changes made to the image, restoring it to its original state and dimensions.
  • Adjust: It provides options to modify image properties like brightness, contrast, or saturation for better visual appeal.
  • Border: Adds an outline around the image, which can be customized in style and color to enhance its appearance in the diagram.
